Seventy five years have passed since the pioneering work of Robert E. L. Faris and H. Warren Dunham on the occurrence of mental disorders in an urban area (Chicago). The authors confirmed that the majority of schizophrenia cases occurred in the city centre, especially in the depreciated areas. The continuators of this type of research constructed more questions and hypotheses related with the researched populace of people affected with mental disorders in the studied areas of cities and villages. More superior research and statistical methods enabled combining certain features of the researched populaces as well as the studied areas. The first research of this type conducted in Poland regarded psychiatric disorders in particular districts of Łódź and was based on the data about people treated for psychiatric disorders in mental health clinics in 1981. Elżbieta Kozanecka-Michałowska, the author of this research, confirmed that mental disorders occurred more often in the city centre and residential districts characterized with a higher degree of population density. The co-author of the current work conducted a similar research based on the register of patients that received treatment for psychiatric disorders in the years 1989-2002. This work, probably the first one of this kind in the Polish specialist literature, has the aim of introducing the Polish reader to the review of research results regarding the occurrence of schizophrenia in particular urban areas as well as in certain rural areas.
